No. 1 Xavier Falls To Florida State: Seminoles Advance To Sweet 16

Only two No. 1 seeds are left in this year's tournament.

No. 1-seeded Xavier was knocked out of the 2018 NCAA tournament with a 75–70 loss to No. 9-seeded Florida State in the second round at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.

Villanova and Kansas are the last two remaining No. 1 seeds in the tournament. Michigan, a No. 3 seed, is the highest remaining seed on the left side of the bracket.

Florida State overcame a 12-point deficit in the second half. The game was tied at 68 with 2:22 remaining. FSU took its first lead of the second half with 1:08 remaining when PJ Savoy hit a three-pointer.

Florida State will play No. 4-seeded Gonzaga on Thursday night in Los Angeles.
